Taste the wonderful flavors of fall in this beautiful salad with apples, craisins, pecans, honey and creamy goat cheese tossed with mixed baby greens. I love the combination of the goat cheese paired with the sweet taste of honey and fruit. This is great as a side salad or a light lunch.

I found your site recently and have been loving it. I started WW 8 weeks ago and have lost 25 pounds so far. My husband is Polish/Hungarian and I can't wait to tell him about the Spaetzle!! Thanks for the link, and the chance to win!

I was sucked in by the picture of the Grilled Salmon with Chavrie Caper Sauce. There aren't very many ingredients but it looks big in taste! I never knew this cheese was lower in fat and calories. You can BET I'm going to try it! Umm, you're recipe for the salad above isn't too shabby either!! Wow, that looks good!

I visited the Charvie site and it all looks so yummy! Both the Quick Dip & Roasted Red Pepper dip look like great ideas (will be great for the holiday veggie trays). Also, I like the idea of using is as a topping on baked potatoes...always looking for ideas to dress up a potato! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for giving me yet another reason why I could probably live on goat cheese alone. I love it! I'm definitely going to make this dressing. And I'm loving the recipe for the portobella panini! Thanks!

I am going to have to say the portobella panini! YUMMMM! Can you make that weight watcher friendly, puuuuhleeease! :)Wish me luck!! I <3 William Sonoma and all things kitchen! haleywinchester@gmail.com

First let me say that the Honey Goat Cheese Dressing is on my list of "To Make" for next week. It is just what I have been looking for!

Alot of the recipes for Chavrie look so deliciously great, but I have been dying to try to make gnocchi for the longest time now. I believe I must must must try the Chavrie® Gnocchi as my first attempt. :-)

I have been wanting to try goat cheese so I think I will choose the Chavrie Macaroni & Cheese recipe. You sure can't go wrong with mac-n-cheese no matter what kind of cheese you use, right?I love your blog....passed it on to several WW amigos. Thank You , Thank You, Thank you!

I LOVE Macaroni and Cheese and this looks/sounds like a delicious recipe!! I love trying it made with different cheeses and the fact that this cheese is lower in fat certainly helps!! I have been on WW for a year now and have lost a little over 57 lbs!! I am VERY thankful for your website for inspiring me with so many wonderful recipes!! Thanks!!

Thanks so much for the new recipe and for the link to the Chavrie website. I would like to try their macaroni and cheese as I have grandchildren who love mac and cheese, and it would be great to find a different, healthier choice. Thanks so much.

I am seriously digging that Portabello Panini! I find that I use the panini machine a lot because you can put just about anything in between a couple of pieces of whole grain bread and the heat and squish make it all so delish (I didn't mean for that to rhyme!). One of things I really like about goat cheese - and oddly enough, Chavrie is the one I find is best at this - is that it has a very good flavor especially when heated or melted. Some cheeses lose their flavor but goat cheese seems to get better. So you can use less and still get the bang for the buck.

My boyfriend is obsessed with all things German, so I am definitely going to try the Spaetzle recipe! Thanks for the link. Great site, by the way! I visit regularly to get inspiration for healthy cooking :-)

How could you go wrong with the Chavrie Macaroni and Cheese recipe?? Not only does it sound delicious, but it would be different to try with goat cheese to kick it up a notch! Keep your awesome recipes coming Gina...I can't get enough!!-Kristinklw21@aol.com

I liked the Asian Chilled Pasta as there are many easy substitutes for the ingredients to make it more WW friendly. I can imagine the tangy taste of lemongrass with the goat cheese and ginger. Best of all, this is a make ahead meal, refrigerates well (tastes better , in fact, if you don't eat it right away). I can make a batch on Sunday and seal/freeze it so all it needs is to be thawed out for lunch at work.

Thank you for your good work. I have been lurking for a week as a new WW member,

Chavrie Creamy Polenta is something I would make in a heartbeat. I love polenta & can only imagine how rich tasting this would be!The honey dressing looks wonderful though & I am always looking for new ways to dress my salads.

Loving the Tomato soup recipe... I love tomato soup and this looks like a quick and easy way to spice it up a bit. 1 can condensed soup, 1 cup veggie broth and a Chavrie pyramid... sounds so good I'm gonna try it tonight!

That picture is great! I can't wait to try this. I love goat cheese. This recipe looks so yummy:

Chavrie® Chicken Wontons

Makes 15-20

Ingredients½ lbs ground Chicken 1 tsp. lime juice 1 Tbsp cilantro, leaves chopped 1 tsp. ginger chopped 1 Tbsp. curry paste (your preference) 1 pkg. 4 oz. Chavrie® Goat Log 1 pkg. Square wonton wrappers 1 C water Vegetable oil InstructionsPut the chicken, lime juice, honey, red curry paste, and cilantro into a medium bowl and mix well by hand. Split the Chavrie® Goat Log in half and cut ¼ inch half moon shaped piecesLay out 10 wonton wrappers in a row. Put 1 half moon shaped piece of Chavrie® Goat Log into the center of each square. Top with 1tsp. of chicken mixture.Working quickly, dip your fingers into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton. Fold it over the filling to form a triangle, pressing well to seal. Curl the 2 points in towards each other, moisten 1 point and press them together to form a bishop's hat. Repeat with the remaining wontons. Pour 3 inches of the vegetable oil into a large saucepan and place over medium heat. When ready to cook, drop the wontons into the hot oil in batches of 6 until puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove and let the excess oil drain.

Serving Suggestions:Serve with the Chavrie® Thai dipping sauceWontons can be cooked in chicken stock and used as soup garnish if you prefer not to fry them

The Goat Cheese Spaetzle is, hands-down, the best I have ever had. My husband, who is German, loved these - only after he was done did I tell him that they were made with goat cheese. Another "goat cheese?!" phobic converted!

Gina -- I love your recipes and talked about your blog at my WW meeting in Wantagh. Regarding the recipe for the wontons on the Chavrie site, which sound totally yummy, do they mean raw ground chicken or already cooked ground chicken?? I hate to sound foolish, but I'd hate to put a lot of effort into this only to screw it up by not asking the question....Keep the recipes coming!!!

Ditto on loving goat cheese! All the recipes I read looked scrumptious. For a special dinner, the Roasted Asparagus with Chavrie® Dijon Sauce seems very appealing!Love this site -- I'm telling my WW@Work meeting about you this week!

Yum! The Vegetable Lasagna sounds delicious. Btw..I just love your blog. I started reading it one night, decided to join WW the next day after seeing so many wonderful recipes, and 3 weeks later I have lost 9 pounds. Thank you so much!

I really loved the Chavrie Guacamole it was so Creamy & Delightful. I am so thankful that you introduced me to this new site. My husband and I just recently started WW and I am trying to keep it fun so I love this site and all of your Tidbits. Thank You! Missy missymaye@msn.com

I think the Chavrie® Macaroni and Cheese sounds like a recipe I would like to try! I love macacroni and cheese, but not out of the box. As the weather is getting colder I am starting to crave warm, comfort foods! Thanks so much :)

I made the chevrie guacamole recipe. I have always loved this treat, and I never thought you could improve the taste by adding this smooth and creamy cheese to it. This is my new recipe for my all time favorite splurge! Suzan Nannysuzan01534@aol.com

I love this salad, I make it quite frequently because I just adore goat cheese. I decided that I wanted to have it for dinner last night but wanted some protein in it. I made a new weight watchers recipe for pecan crusted chicken and sliced it and put it on top. It was so perfect! I also cut grapes in halve and put them on this salad when I make it because grapes and goat cheese are a match made in heaven. Yum! Keep the wonderful recipes coming Gina!

continuously i used to read smaller articles which also clear their motive, and that is also happening with this paragraph which I am reading at this time.Also see my web page - online money making business
